The latest set of Girls und Panzer: Master the Tankery screenshots show off the game’s story mode, Battle Royale mode, and more tanks.

Story mode follows the plot of the TV anime. Scenes depicted include the battles against St. Gloriana Girls High School in episode four, Pravda Girls High School in episodes eight and nine, and the Kuromorimine Girls High School in episode 12.

In Battle Royale mode, over 30 tanks can participate in battle and players can form their own teams. This is described as a ‘dream battle’ mode.

Licensed games are usually on a tight budget and fairly ugly?
That’s about right. A lot of us get too used to Storm which while shallow is probably the most ambitious current licensed game series from Namco Bandai.

Well, at least they loaded that budget into the tanks. 30 vs. 30 sounds like a massive resource hog, which probably explains the 2-second textures.

I guess they had to do this comprimise when they really do 30 vs. 30 battles. I guess otherwise couldn’t handle all the battle simulations and additionally deliver a decent framerate.

And I think the overworld and the textures are only of secondary priority while battling others.

Still looks like the 90s gave us a call and asked to give them their textures back.

The sky has just the right amount of blue-ness. A graphical achievement!

Did you guys want realistic games? The West already does this, Japanese developers do not have big budget to develop games with decent graphics engines, therefore focus on the quality of the game without caring about graphics.

Vita killer app!

They must’ve started development on this game the moment it was announced.
